BFFs, Apple Hill, Pumpkin Carving...Perfect!

So Kate was here this past weekend and just the girls went to Apple Hill and the entire Sacto family carved pumpkins! What on the planet could be better?

My heart is so full of love and excitement that it might just pop out of my chest!

P.S. I LOVE Carol and Kevin more and more every single day! Good Good People! My GGP's!

Real Good!

I am coming down off of a super great weekend. I spent it with AMAZING people, eating, watching Freaks and Geeks, assembling CD's for the greatest Sacramento trio ever and most importantly loving. I am so full of gratitude that at the moment I can't think of one thing that is going bad. That is not to say that I have my mini struggles but the truth is that because I am surrounded by people who love me anything negative is pushed away. This week I am done with my full schedule at Old Navy and I am on to my new job, to call it a job is tough because I think it will be so much fun! I had a meeting with Marc just about an hour ago and somethings were cleared up which means that I can be even more excited about the things that are to come.

I anticipate the next month to be pretty amazing! Kate is here this weekend and we are going to live it up staying up late watching The Office, eating way yummy food and enjoying some of Sacramento's finest brews. Silver Darling (www.myspace.com/silverdarling) is playing the week after that in Midtown and in LA (11.10 8pm Room 5, Los Angeles....please go!) then a week of normalcy followed by a week at home in the LBC! My heart is so full of good things right now...so so so good!

I feel like one hundred dollars!

Blogging is the way of the future so I am trying to catch on. My last blogging site went pretty poorly, it is a smaller company than blogger so people weren't to hip on it...yep, giving in to the man.

The thing is that I really like a pen and paper, I like the way it feels to move a pen and I love the creases that are made, the way the paper curls if you are passionate about something and therefore press too hard. This is new for me...but I am turning out to be pretty okay with trying new things so I am going to give it a whirl.

I moved to Sacramento in June, only 4 months ago and already I have a family who make me feel like one hundred dollars! I have a home that I love and I live with roomates that make my life about 100% better. I miss my family, I miss my friends and my animals and the comforts of being in a place that I know better than I know myself but I like it here no, I love it here. I live in what the locals call Midtown, a city within a city. Every person is linked to eachother by someone, the degrees of separation are few and I really like that. What is happening here is community, authentic community...YEAH! I drink coffee next to the person who bags my groceries, the guy who serves me my coffee sits a few seats away from me in my math class and just about anytime I go for a walk I recognize someone from somewhere. This life is good, I never thought I would say that about this place, especially since I miss my family sooooo much.

I love my Sacto family!
